Silkie thread!

[Jharper]

While I'm posting pictures today, anyone want to guess gender? This is one of 2 chicks I hatched from my blue roo that died, its the only one I kept. I was hoping for a cockerel, so naturally, it looks like a pullet to me :/ Sorry about the dirty face, I think they use the fermented feed as hair product. Yuck!

GIRLL!!!!

Wow I am so far behind on this thread I havent been on in forever. Ive prob missed lots. I was actually wondering if anyone knows the answer, I have 2 chicks now about 14 weeks old and Im pretty sure I have a pullet and a roo(not positive at all thoug) Ill post pics soon maybe someone will have an idea.

Anyhow the question
One is a splash the other porcelain(catdance silkies) if they are bred together will a specific color result or will they create a mash of different colored offspring?

Well... looks like I am going to have to cull Nori

I can't get the egg to budge, it is wrapped inside the ovaduct membrane once again. We worked at it for a few hours with no luck, just prolapsing. I can't even feel the egg shell when I palpate inside her ovaduct, just the egg wrapped in membrane. I need to put her out of her suffering.... I can't even do it myself... she is my baby and I need someone else to do it for me. My friend has a CO2 chamber at her work. I might use that.

Oh no! I'm so sorry! I'd be a wreck if I had to put sweet pea down

I'm not composed, but I have been preparing myself for this since she got eggbound on sunday.
